Underground turbulent heartbeats as a train eerily slices the darkness towards a rendezvous - (Wayra exists where ever Telefonica operates) Telecommunications form the backbone of any train control system and are an integral part of signalling solutions - the passengers experience dire anticipation hoping that Telephonica, the most global, connected and technological open innovation hub in the world (the reason this train is hurtling forward) will make sure that they arrive safely at their destined rendezvous. warm regards and hugs, Jenny.
